  • PositiveVery bright XL display
  • NegativeLarge and heavy
  • NegativeBattery life only okay

The Ultra is full of cutting-edge technology: 5G, a fast processor, a bright XL display with new 120 hertz technology - and there are four years of updates. The highlight is the camera. Four lenses cover every zoom range: from close up to far away. There's even 8K for videographers.
